Kenjit,
Direct sale operations such as Underwood, Schiit, Emotiva
have the ability to offer pricing less than 1/2 traditional companies.
One very heavily talked about bookshelf speakers at Axpona
are made by Borresson. Only $38k a pair. This too is a marketing come-on. Start high so people pay attention, then mass market at the real price. Two bookshelf speaker companies causing some buzz were Odyssey and LSA . $1800-$2500 if memory serves.
